I'm sure the CT employees can get on the Obaminomics Pay plan and get 99 weeks of unemployment....

We’ve reported that proactive pro-gun states have put on the full court press to entice gun makers and related firms to relocate from the chilly (as in business climate) northeast to friendlier pro-gun states. Now C Products Defense has decided that doing business in a state that’s openly hostile to your products – Connecticut in this case – no longer makes sense. The manufacturer of stainless steel AR mags is baling out of Newington for sunny Manatee county where, to qualify for a $100,000 incentive payment, they’ll add 100 jobs to the local economy in the the next five years. They’ll also be living and working in a place that actually welcomes them and what they do. The only question left: is this just a one-off or the beginning of an flood of similar companies who’ve decided they’d much rather be elsewhere?

When I was consulting with a manufacturing company in CT 15 yrs ago, they were already working on moving out because it was too expensive to do business or pay a "living wage."

Who wouldn't dump the cold winters of the northeast for Brandenton, Florida? Pleasant sea breezes, warm sunny beaches. Housing is a little steep in Manatee/Sarasota, but you can live east of town and find some good places.

Have you checked prices lately? Prices are down by 30-50% from their highs. And they are still falling. Sheesh. East of town costs less, but condos on the beachesare no longer out of reach.
